Thanks for being so helpful. So as a professional you would measure at the cooker outlet and then consider if the addition of a smaller sized cable to the appliance would increase the total loop impedance to an unacceptable level? If the impedance was increased too much (by the smaller...

Thanks very much John. I thought it may have been based on the type of appliance. Following your explanation I now understand that this isn't the consideration but the 'worst case' which would be the dead short. I will take a look at loop impedance testing to try to understand more. What...

As a DIYer that would like to learn what would you take into consideration to determine if the fault protection is adequate. I understand that the load of the oven is low at 2.3kW. The length of cable from the outlet to the cooker is only around 1-2m. Please understand this isn't me trying...

Thanks very much for your help.

I have a 6kW induction hob connected to a cooker outlet in my kitchen. The cooker outlet is fed by a 32A MCB via a cooker isolator. The circuit is protected by a RCD. I also have a 2.3kW oven which I would like to connect to the cooker outlet. If I replace the cooker outlet with a dual...

Maybe he does, but his initial question (post title) was "what are these" [sic] Of course I spotted the similarity - how do you think I found the page? That's why I posted the full page - showing the source image. As the image linked was added to his image album how do you know he got...

They look like old glass fuses. https://www.etsy.com/listing/89033083/2-vintage-glass-fuses http://www.nachi.org/forum/f19/fuse-boxes-12216/

Sounds good, can I move in? Probably a cable and a small switch would be best then.

Are the consoles/printers going in the man cave? Or are some remaining in the house?

Homeplugs will be no rival for a wired connection and installing a wired connection at this stage is unlikely to be costly.

Thanks very much for your reply. If the platform is 1m high I am only 1/3-1/2 way up the hedge. This (combined with my short body) won't give me enough 'reach' over the hedge. The top step of my current step ladder is about 20cm below the top of the hedge and I don't get enough height off...

Hi, I am looking for some advice regarding a hedge trimmer. I have a fairly deep hedge and have difficulty cutting the far side of the top. At the moment I am using a step ladder, balancing on the top two steps and using an electric hedge cutter with a 60cm blade. This gives a nice finish...

Airing cupboard

I made my own once using instructions from the internet. Replacing the screw type aerial on a wireless access point with a "Cantenna" Something similar to the below: http://www.cruftbox.com/cruft/docs/cantenna.html It worked pretty well and allowed an internet connection to be shared...

My response was written in this manner as there may have been factors which were not apparent from the original photos. This now appears to be the case (additional partition wall). I assume the one I have highlighted with a pink line in the photo? The new wall would form an internal corner...

The cables should be run in 'safe zones' when concealed within walls: http://www.diynot.com/wiki/Electrics:walls From the photo it doesn't seem that they are?

I assumed the difference was the strain relief provided for the cables which completes the specifications for the maintenance free requirement. The additional guidelines relate to the total current via the Wagobox to comply with BS5733 for maintenance free accessories...

If you want something more substantial could you use an inline extractor fan?

Once the operating system is reinstalled install this application to prevent it from happening again: http://www.majorgeeks.com/mg/get/cryptoprevent,1.html

What about this wired kit? http://www.ebuyer.com/407078-securix-pro-500gb-4-camera-4-channel-cctv-system-sme4-r12-kit It comes with 4 cameras, each with a long cable which is wired back to a central point. The DVR and camera power supply is installed at this point. The DVR connects to...
